Machining
Machining is a controlled material removal process in which parts are manufactured from raw material stock or repaired by re-shaping or removing existing material where necessary. Specialized hardened cutting tools are used for material removal. Cutting tool movement can be controlled either manually or by computer numerical control (CNC). The most common machine tools are mills and lathes as these machines can handle most machining operations.
